Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses are presented for computer-assisted visualization of network devices. One example involves receiving a plurality of standardized network description files describing a plurality of vehicular communication networks connecting a plurality of electronic control units (ECU) for a vehicle. Each of the plurality of standardized network description files may describe a vehicular communication network in the plurality of vehicular communication networks. Each vehicular communication network may comprise a subset of the plurality of ECUs and one or more network communications paths interconnecting the subset of ECUs. The example can further involve automatically generating, based on the standardized network description files, a visual topology representation of the plurality of vehicular communication networks connecting to the plurality of ECUs. The visual topology representation may include at least one ECU connected to at least two vehicular communication networks in the plurality of vehicular communication networks.

Abstract: A vehicle can use controlled area network (CAN) buses for communications within a subsystem but connect different subsystems using Ethernet connections. For example, a network interface (NIC) of a subsystem can receive a CAN message from a CAN bus and incorporate the CAN message into a user diagram protocol (UDP) message which can be then packaged into an Ethernet packet. The UDP message may include a table of contents (TOC). The TOC may include the message ID and the length of the CAN message. Once a NIC receives the message, the receiving NIC can extract the UDP message from the Ethernet packet, parse through the TOC to identify a CAN message relevant to the control units of the receiving NIC's subsystem, extract the relevant CAN message based on the TOC, and put the CAN message onto CAN buses to be sent to destination CAN devices.

Abstract: An adaptive multi-string battery for an electric vehicle is disclosed herein. The battery strings can adaptively be connected to the power bus bars based on the output voltage to be discharged with load. During operation of the vehicle, the voltage, current, and estimate charge can be constantly monitored to change the connected status of the battery strings to the power buses to allow connecting or disconnecting of the battery strings adaptively.
